Common Questions About Our Services
Have questions before signing up? Here are answers to the most common questions we receive.
How does Ballard Property Tax Protest work?
We handle your entire property tax protest from start to finish. After you sign up and authorize us to represent you, we file your protest, gather evidence including comparable sales data, attend hearings on your behalf, and negotiate with your county's appraisal district. You don't need to take time off work or prepare anything yourself.
What does it cost to use your services?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency basis - you only pay 1% of your assessed value reduction if we successfully lower your property taxes. If your value isn't reduced, our services are completely free. No credit card is required to sign up.
What happens after I sign up?
After signing up, you'll receive a confirmation email with next steps. We'll file your protest with your county's appraisal district before the May 15 deadline. Throughout the process, you'll receive email updates as we gather evidence, schedule hearings, and negotiate on your behalf. Most protests are resolved within 2-4 months.
Do I need to attend any hearings or meetings?
No. As your authorized agent, we attend all hearings on your behalf - both informal hearings with the appraisal district and formal Appraisal Review Board (ARB) hearings if needed. You can continue with your normal schedule while we handle everything.
How do I know if my property taxes are too high?
If your assessed value increased significantly, if comparable homes in your area sold for less than your assessed value, or if your property has condition issues that aren't reflected in the assessment, you may be overpaying. We analyze your property and comparable sales to determine if there's a strong case for reduction.
Is Ballard Property Tax Protest licensed?
Yes. Matthew Ballard is a licensed Property Tax Consultant in the State of Texas (TDLR License #12593). We are registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and follow all state requirements for property tax consulting.
